Olivia Rodrigo says she can't live without this one piece of home decor in particular, and now often buys it as a present for friends and family The Victrola Eastwood VTA-72 is a hybrid, all-in-one turntable solution for your vinyl. Listen to your favourite records in excellent clarity through the onboard, custom-tuned stereo speakers or external Hi-Fi systems via the RCA outputs. Wireless dual-Bluetooth connectivity allows you to both stream your favourite music from your mobile or tablet device through the onboard speakers as well as stream your vinyl through any Bluetooth-enabled speaker. The dust cover is also plastic and connects to the turntable via two tabbed plastic hinges. Releasing these tabs makes the dust cover removable, which is a nice feature. When I connect my phone to the turntable via Bluetooth, and I play my favorite MP3s, the audio seems to come out of the turntable speaker so much louder than it does when I play records.

If you've ever seen an audio player before, you will probably get on well with the Eastwood without even looking at the instruction manual (though we recommend you do!). As previously said, the controls are all clearly labelled, with the pause/play and skip buttons placed next to the power control. The volume control and Bluetooth to Phono switch are on the other side of the display. For the most part, The Eastwood isn’t necessarily going to be ideal for everyone. But if you fit the right mold, you’ll absolutely adore it. The Bluetooth turntable, knobs, buttons, and faceplate are all plastic but look surprisingly like textured aluminum. The faux metal faceplate has five buttons, two knobs, and a 1/8″ headphone port for wired listening.While I admit that the audio volume for records is lower than MP3s via Bluetooth player, I also noticed an anomaly that you might be experiencing.
